The original plan was to open with American composer Michael Daugherty's 1999 composition, "Sunset Strip," but CSO music director Kayoko Dan didn't want the featured players on the Ravel piece to have to play through the Daugherty with anxiety, so she changed the order.

The Ravel work, written in 1905 as a chamber music piece with string quartet, particularly shows off Hudson's harp skills, Dan said. The featured musicians will be joined by some of the CSO string section.

"We'll have a slightly smaller than normal (section) but much bigger than a quartet," said Dan.

"Sunset Strip" will follow and is divided into three movements: 7 p.m., Nocturne and 7 a.m. Daugherty said the work was inspired by the spirit of Hollywood, beginning with the jet-set glamour of the 1930s and moving toward the counterculture of the 1960s.
